Design
The maximum point of the curves is positioned more in the front part of the sail whereas the exits of the curves are quite flat. These characteristics of the shape of the sail permits to:
- Perform very well not only upwind but also downwind
- Reach the maximum hull speed even in conditions with light wind and waves that are often pretty challenging conditions for heavy sailors.
- Our sails have a special dyneema pretensioning system in the top of the sail. This extra performance feature assures that the sail keeps it's shape under tension. In the long run, the sail, without this system creates a vibration that affects not only the aesthetics of the sail but also the performance.
